đź“° In the news
Regional workforce growth initiative: On March 3, FAU and Palm Beach County announced a partnership to strengthen the talent pipeline as commissioners proclaimed Florida Atlantic Career Center Day, prioritizing recruitment, skill alignment, and development — get all the details.
Chain marks growth milestone: El Car Wash acquired Miracle Car Wash on Federal Highway, bringing its first Boca location. A second site is planned later this year as the company expands countywide — see what’s planned next.
Private homes and historic venues: Boca Bacchanal 2026 returns to celebrate wine, food, and community. Tickets are on sale for The Grand Tasting, Vintner Dinners, and a Silent Auction benefiting Boca Raton Historical Society — check out the full lineup.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Pho night, sorted: Phở Boca keeps it simple, with clean, aromatic broths, slurpable noodles, and banh mi built for midweek cravings. When an easy, tasty reset sounds right, your go-to bowl delivers, or the wok-y side does the trick; either way, comfort follows.
Fabric fix, anyone? If the couch, dining chairs, or that “what was I thinking” ottoman need new life, Boca Bargoons stocks thousands of decorative fabrics, with fresh arrivals and a convenient in-house workroom. Knowledgeable staff help you match swatches to your space, so everything looks pulled together.
Craving-old-school comfort? Flashback Diner plates breakfast classics all day, plus burgers, salads, and those mile‑high cakes that always “need a bite.” A low-fuss spot for meetups or a solo reset when you crave familiar food, retro vibes, and zero kitchen cleanup.
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →

Raphaël Chatroux, a French art insider with museum receipts, talks, then you dine. Pricey, yes, but cheaper than Paris airfare.
🥞 49th Women of Distinction Breakfast @ Boca West Country Club | Wednesday (3/11) at 8:00 AM – The 49th Women of Distinction Breakfast hits Boca West Country Club, pouring coffee, applause, and the kind of inspiration that beats another HOA meeting.

🎸 International Beatles on the Beach Festival @ Mizner Park Amphitheater | Thursday (3/12) at 6:00 PM – Skip the same-old happy hour and hit Boca’s Beatles takeover, from blues roots to McCartney symphonic fireworks, with orchestras, tributes, and pop-ups all over town. You’re covered rain or shine, parking’s free, and VIP seats go quicker than a chorus of na-na-na.
🥒 World Pickleball Open @ Patch Reef Park | Saturday (3/14) at 8:00 AM – Whether you dink like a pro or just learned the kitchen rule, World Pickleball Open at Patch Reef Park in Boca runs a round robin and three-match minimum.

🎠Hugh Panaro @ The Studio at Mizner Park | Saturday (3/14) at 7:30 PM – Dust off your date-night shoes and see Broadway icon Hugh Panaro, the Phantom you actually remember, flex that unreal voice and storytelling. He has worn the mask over 2,000 times, and it shows, in the best way. No chandelier required.
🥬 Boca Green Market @ Royal Palm Place | Sunday (3/15) at 8:00 AM – Make it a Sunday habit at Royal Palm Place’s Green Market, where fresh produce, artisanal bites, and live music turn errands into a treat. Stroll, sip, and chat with growers, not influencers, then head home with a full tote, samples, and a better mood.
